The benefits of scent work for dogs is undeniable. Whether that’s Nosework (Scent Detection), Tracking, Mantrailing, Area Searching or any other discipline.
And whilst many are inclusive of a lot of dogs, it can be a real challenge for those with reactive dogs. Group settings can be too overwhelming. Yet the very act of scent work can increase dopamine, provide a boost in mood, improve their capability of thinking under minor pressure and learn to work around minor environmental changes and distractions.
So as someone who’s spent many years working in the scentwork field and with reactive dogs (professionally and for personally) I’m excited to bring this opportunity to those that need it most.
Hosted at our private home in Dunedin, I invite those of you with reactive dogs to join our special course. Coordinated with safety and progression in mind, these sessions will build your relationship, give your dog the ability to show you what they are capable of and grow their skills.
Expressions of interest welcome. Limited places. T’s & C’s apply. More info to come soon.

Discovering pockets of interesting spots within the city of Dunedin always makes me excited. Not just for my dogs but as recommendations for others.
They’re a fabulous asset particularly for dogs that are struggling with the intensity of a city. They can help dogs decompress and adjust to town sounds. Murphy was much more comfortable here with the city sounds and cars passing.
This park is particular good with an open field with rough grass, cushioned by wooded areas with trails. Plus the views out to sea and down the harbour are pretty awesome.
I’m sure you’ve all got some secret favourite spots too?!

Another day with acoustics in the house that could rival the Sydney Opera House and paint fumes that could leave the Pope high.
The dogs are more than ready to get back in the main house but alas they can only watch from the garden today.
Once I’ve cleaned away all the dust from the wall sanding and set up the furniture again, then it’ll be safe to bring them in to the area again.
The painters have done an awesome job. Still more to do but it’s shaping up nicely.

This weeks challenge has been a big one. The decorators are in the main house so this means access to parts of it have been off limits for the dogs. Their routine has changed. Not just that, but hearing new voices and sounds of the unfamiliar can be unsettling for them.
So we have limited the number of Air BnB bookings so we could use those spaces and gardens initially.
Now we’re at the point where the dogs can be in the main garden without too much drama whilst the men work inside the house in full view.
I’m super proud of all of them for coping so well. Walks have been either down at the beach or on the block still, so they are getting enough stimulation. But it’s the cuddles in front of the TV that have been more limited and on a rotation system in one of the small Air BnBs.
But overall they haven’t been too vocal and have settled well despite these changes.
Once the paint dries they can come back into the main house. But for now I’m using it as an opportunity to educate them. The fine weather has made it easier for sure, although this mornings freezing temperatures meant looks of disgust from some of the dogs put out in the garden for toileting after being disturbed from their beds in the warm laundry room.
Sometimes things go better than planned and this is one of those occasions.

Tuk (was Tink) is back to stay for a few months, whilst her Dad heads abroad. It’s always wonderful to see them again.
She slotted straight back in and was pleased to see her BFF Hope again.
She went absolutely bonkers back at our local beach. She was always such a character and it’s lovely to see her be happy to be here with us.

HAPPY 5Th BIRTHDAY HOPE 💕
From the very beginning, when I had to breathe life in to Hope when she was born, she has been a special girl.
She was quiet, cuddly and lacked the confidence of some of her siblings. But as she matured she blossomed and a new found confidence developed.
Her eternal enthusiasm for life has played a huge part in her still being here after her IMHA diagnosis.
We didn’t think shed make it to 5 but yet here she still is. If ever there was a dog that was the epitome of positive thinking it’s her.
She lights up the world and all she meets in it.
I will be forever grateful for everyone involved in her care, that includes all of you that donated to keep her alive. Without you all she wouldn’t be here to see her 5th Birthday. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
